$x=0$ or $x=-3$

The general rule for solving a quadratic equation is to make it equal to 0 and factorise if possible.

Exactly this method can apply here.

$x^2 + 3x =0 " common factor of "x$

$color(red)xcolor(blue)((x+3))=0$

If the product of two or more factors is 0, then at least one of them is equal to 0.

$color(red)x$ = 0, or $color(blue)(x+3) = 0 " "rArr x= -3$
